The 10c stamp and its cancel have been fraudulently added to this stampless cover, circa 1835 to 1845, from a Mississippi Senator to Mr. Justice Story. This fake was described at Chronicle 119: 174-175. Suffice it to say that J. R. Walker was not a senator during the 1847-51 period and that Justice Story died in 1845, two years before the stamp was issued.
